[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have the same birthday tradition - a dinner out, choice of the one celebrating, everyone goes.  We have one other condition and that is that the person who chooses has to choose a place that everyone can find something they like.  Honestly, I'd be surprised if one of my kids picked a place that another didn't like.  And, if they did and it was brought to their attention, I'd be surprised if they didn't offer to change it to a place where everyone would have a good time.

For us, birthdays are family celebrations and while the birthday person gets a lot of leeway, it is not without limits.  There are plenty of opportunities to have a dinner out with just parents or a parent to a place that is not popular with everyone.  As I say this, I do recognize that we can choose to eat out periodically and that is a privilege.  If OP doesn't have that ability, I would probably tell my other kid to suck it up, eat before they go, put a smile on their face and show up.

OP already said that the restaurant serves French fries.  It's clearly got things he can eat, he's just being a dick.[/quote]
